*UPDATE*@BlackBerryHelp - We’re getting reports that some users are experiencing delays. We’re investigating and will update you ASAP. ^CB

*UPDATE 2* - And all is well again, according to @BlackBerry - BlackBerry services are currently operating normally in EMEIA.

While we're hesitant to give this one the honor of being a full scale outage, it appears as though some folks are indeed having issues with getting emails and BBM messages delivered on their devices. We'll continue to monitor things but here are a few examples from users across the World of what is happening after being asked if they were experiencing any issues:

@crackberry yes me... in italy

@crackberry yup I'm having issues. Still some functionality but some users are completely down.

First of all I'm haven't difficulties o2 uk won't send at all or emails or internet while me other bb is on vodafone uk won't email but will bbm and won't go on internet devices are 9780 on o2 and curve 9300 on vodafone

Not totally true... I'm in france (Paris) and my blackberry services have been down for 4 days... But surprisingly my wife, my brother and a friend of mine all have everything working normally... And its weird cuz we all have the same carrier and all have a 9900... So im starting to think mine is cursed or some shit... If anyone have an answer.... Pls get at me!

Blackberry just posted on their Facebook page, only some users in EMEA are affected by the delays. That is Europe, Middle East and Asia for those who aren't sure. Rest assured you guys and gals in North America are just fine.

I seem to have lost service on BBM/email/other notifications between 2100-2200 this evening uk time on Vodafone. Got a bunch of stuff through just after 2200 but service is patchy again. Diagnostic from my device showed the BB registration was ok but the peer to peer ( PIN to PIN) was failed. Someones up to something at the moment!

I was thinking it was some interference while being in the BestBuy store because surely RIM could not have hit the switch on us again (sarcasm). Delays in Toronto, got over 20 emails back to back! BBM though isn't giving issues!

I was getting messages no problem, but couldn't send back. Tried to tweet about it and couldn't do that either. Even the text I tried to send to explain why I wasn't responding to BBM went but took a couple of minutes. All solved now, though. Unfortunately my battery fried in about an hour because it kept trying to send, though...

CrackBerry... you're really starting to make me wonder about you.... Keep your nose clean and stop trying the TMZ style of junk reporting like BGR is doing... report the facts, not rumours based on a few sketchy reports. The more I come to CrackBerry, the more disappointed I'm becoming in what I'm seeing.... very sad indeed.

why, what's wrong with that? it's a good cause to spread the news, you can have a go on the BB's twitter page about the disruption. now let's hope together, that the issue is fully resolved and the BB service is back up & running like a solid rock.

Just came on CB to check. Montreal, on Telus.
Been hrs already, no text, no BBM (not working since 9pm EST looking at pass messages sent out with no D noting), no emails and no browser connectivity. Ain't sure about out Texts but INC Texts i haven't received any in hours so. Phone service is working... Signal is stuck on 1xev (yes lower case)... 3 am EST now

i'm in NIgeria. noticed email was slow for a bit yesterday. didn't last long and it was back to normal.
however what i just noticed was all the data on my media card have been erased. help!!!! i didn't do anything. my music and pictures are all gone. same thing happened during the last big outage.
has anyone experienced this before?
help!!!!!

I have checked a few times, tethering the Playbook to my 9810 works fine, a little slow, but it works. Still no email, all BBM have the clock, but I can send this message from my tethered playbook. Weird.

Some odd behavior with email and BBM services in the last week. It may have been the broader network issue that surfaced recently. Beyond that, my experience since the big outage is that it is suspiciously flaky ... Slower emails on an intermittent basis. I am in Toronto.

After spending a lot of time this morning with my server to see if it was my BB and here in Ontario or my friends in the UK, my server and I realized it's not our service in Ontario since I can receive and send locally, but that in the UK. Since last night at 3:30 am UK time bbm's have been slow and now since about 9 am UK time today, are not sending or receiving to me... friend is a vodofone user but is in Edinburgh visiting. I've researched forums w/ vodfone UK and there seems to be others experiencing delays or no bbms working too since on and off again since the 9th. ~~~ 24hrs later, it's just started working again. A burp in the system? With all the complaints I've seen about Vodafone, I don't think it was RIM this time...
